This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.

Well we're trying to get our open source project onto meta.stackexchange.com/questions/53346/… , but none of us have enough meta reputation to post images even though we all use stackoverflow a lot. Instead I've resorted to just posting any feature suggestions of which I can think. Reputation transfer or what not would prevent people from having to do this, wasting their time and other's time.

sorry, I deleted my comment before I saw yours, I asked why this would be necessary

Just post the information anyway, include the image links as plain text and put a note for someone to edit it to convert the links to images. It won't take long. (If you want to hurry it up a bit, just flag it for mod attention and include a note on what needs doing). Or, like the answer below says, if you are active on SO and associate your accounts you'll get a rep bonus here.

Reputation on a site means you have reputation about that area, for example on SO that's typically programming, on SF that's System Engineer/Admin areas, etc. Being able to transfer rep would give an (IMO) undeserved weight to your content on a site, an area in which you've proven no expertise.

Privileges should be earned on that site I think...for example re-tagging, you should be around to know what the tags are, and for that matter what the topics are. Same goes for the ability to downvote, edit posts, close questions...you should have some expertise, as determined by the members of that site (e.g. your reputation earned) to have those rights.

What about just from SO, SF, etc. to Meta then? Meta is different in that it applies to everyone. I'm just thinking of a case where someone's been using stack overflow for a while and comes onto meta to vote/post suggestions but can't for a while.

@stevenheidel - To a site's own meta, I could see the permissions existing there, but not to any other meta, since the area should be the same. But...it's still not the same, for example rep here isn't around your ability to program or configure a server, it's your suggestions/insight in how to better improve the SO/SE engine and policies which is a different beast than the topics on any of the sites this meta serves.
